Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
Path traversal in Dinky up to version 1.2.5 allows authenticated remote attackers to access arbitrary files on the system through manipulation of the projectName parameter in the GitRepository component. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, and no patch is currently available. An attacker with valid credentials can exploit this to read sensitive files or potentially escalate privileges within Java-based Dinky deployments.
